Efficient Bilingual Generalization from Neural Transduction Grammar Induction

no code implementations EMNLP (IWSLT) 2019 Yuchen Yan, Dekai Wu, Serkan Kumyol

We introduce (1) a novel neural network structure for bilingual modeling of sentence pairs that allows efficient capturing of bilingual relationship via biconstituent composition, (2) the concept of neural network biparsing, which applies to not only machine translation (MT) but also to a variety of other bilingual research areas, and (3) the concept of a biparsing-backpropagation training loop, which we hypothesize that can efficiently learn complex biparse tree patterns.

Improving word alignment for low resource languages using English monolingual SRL

no code implementations WS 2016 Meriem Beloucif, Markus Saers, Dekai Wu

In contrast, our proposed model not only improve translation by injecting a monolingual objective function to learn bilingual correlations during early training of the translation model, but also helps to learn more meaningful correlations with a relatively small data set, leading to a better alignment compared to either conventional ITG or traditional GIZA++ based approaches.

Evaluating Improvised Hip Hop Lyrics - Challenges and Observations

no code implementations LREC 2014 Karteek Addanki, Dekai Wu

We investigate novel challenges involved in comparing model performance on the task of improvising responses to hip hop lyrics and discuss observations regarding inter-evaluator agreement on judging improvisation quality.
